The man saw that the guards were dressed in luxurious clothes, and when he saw him pulling so much grain, he smiled and said, "You are also here to sell grain, the rice shop just opened in front, and his family is collecting grain."
The guard frowned and glanced over there. Sure enough, there was a shop without a plaque, which was collecting rice.
The guard glanced at the cart of grain behind the passerby again: "Isn't the harvest this year bad? Why do you still have surplus grain to sell!"
The man glanced at him strangely: "This official is from a foreign city, right?"
The guard was stunned. What does this have to do with being a local out-of-towner? Although puzzled, the guard nodded: "Yes."
The man laughed and said, "No wonder you don’t know, King Yan is making porridge at the gate of the station. Those of us can drink and eat for nothing. Who else eats our own food? Already? Thinking about changing some cash."
The guard knew it, and frowned, "But now that the price of food is so low, you still sell it!"
The man glanced at him helplessly: "This official doesn't know when the people are suffering. When the price of this food was higher than before, this year's price is about the same as in previous years, not to mention that every family has surplus food, and there is more food Isn't the price lower?"
Then he glanced at the dozens of carts of grain behind him: "I advise you to sell it as soon as possible. The price of grain will only be lower when it is harvested tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, the man warned again: "If you want to sell, just sell this. The price of the rice and grain shop is actually a little bit more. If it is sold to those landlords, it will only be cheaper."
The guard stared at the rice and grain shop blankly, but when he came back to his senses he saw that the passer-by had already pushed the grain to sell the grain.
The guard hesitated for a while, and went to the rice store to ask about the price. It was 10% higher than the landlord reported, but it was 20% lower than yesterday.
The guard was afraid that the price would be lower tomorrow, so he didn't dare to go back to Zhao Xi with any negligence.
As soon as the guard left, Li Luo came out of the back compartment of the rice grain shop and let the people selling grain in front of him: "This time I did a good job, especially you."
It was the passer-by who had just spoken with the guard that Lilao praised.
The passerby scratched his head quickly and naively: "I didn't say anything, it was all according to what you taught."
Li Luo smiled and nodded: "All are good, you go back and rest first, and wait for the remaining ones to come tomorrow."
These were the people they had just bought in Beibin that day. There were a dozen people in total, and half of them came as an act today. This play should end tomorrow at the latest. I believe Zhao Xi should not be delayed until tomorrow, after all, the price will fall again tomorrow.
"Okay." Several people responded, and they all went back.
Liluo confessed to the shopkeeper again: "You continue to be here, if he comes to sell food, I will definitely come, when you come to the back room to find me, I will give you money."
"Yes." The shopkeeper quickly responded.
This side confessed well, and Li Luo followed back to the inn.
The guard came back and hurriedly told Zhao Xi about the situation of today’s food sales. Hearing that the price of food had dropped by 30%, Zhao Xi was so angry that he was about to drop something again: "What's the matter? Why did the price collected yesterday drop again? , Could you be fooled by someone?"
"No." The guard hurriedly told Zhao Xi what he had heard from several landlords.
Zhao Xi heard that the rice will not be sold today, and the price will be lower tomorrow, so he became even more irritated: "Is it all at this price? Did you ask other people?"
The guard hurriedly nodded with a bitter face: "All the landlords' subordinates have asked about this price, and they all said that the food will be lowered. I also asked the passers-by who sold the food and said the same."
After hearing this, Zhao Xi's expression became more serious. It was 30% lower, but it was a hundred thousand less. He paid 1.6 million for these grains. Now he has lost half of it, and it has lost more than a dozen. Wan, thinking about it, Zhao Xi feels unwilling.
Upon seeing this, the guard hurriedly said: "The subordinates inquired, there is a rice shop whose price is fair, 10% higher than the price of the landlord. If adults want to sell food, the rice shop is the most suitable."
Zhao Xi squinted at the guard. If it weren't for the guard he trusted the most, he would definitely suspect that this person had colluded with outsiders to deceive him.
But now he really can't afford to wait for this situation, not to mention whether the price of this food will fall tomorrow, he can't wait for Ye Linglong! He must rush back to Kyoto as soon as possible to prevent Ye Linglong from getting married.
Not only did the Dingyuan Hou Mansion arrange a marriage for Ye Linglong, but it also made the wedding date very urgent. He had to wonder if Ye Linglong was pregnant, so Dingyuan Houfu was so anxious to marry her out to hide her ugliness.
Thinking that Ye Linglong might be pregnant with his child, Zhao Xi became even more anxious, wishing to fly back to Kyoto immediately.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xi could only gritted his teeth and looked at the guard: "You go now to sell all the rice and grains, get the cash receipts, and let's go back to Beijing overnight."
"Yes." Although the guard didn't know what happened in Kyoto, but seeing Zhao Xi was so angry before, he knew that something must have happened.
The guard immediately returned to the rice shop with the grain.
Next door, Li Luo butt hadn't settled down yet, and as soon as he reported the matter to the prince and concubine, he saw the guard go out again.
Hua Laoyue was overjoyed upon seeing this: "Zhao Xi is going to sell food."
Hua Laoyue excitedly took her box, took one million taels of silver tickets, and gave him a bag of silver ingots: "You take the silver and go quickly."
She held down the price by 20% again, and this one million taels could not be spent, but it is always better to have more money.
"Yes." Li Luo was also a little excited, and ran out with the silver.
Li Luo just jumped into the back compartment of the rice shop,
The shopkeeper in front was found, and seeing that Li Luo was indeed in the back compartment, the shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief: "That person has come to sell food, and the front has already been weighed."
"Okay." Li Luo nodded: "I have brought all the silver. Go outside and stare at it. If you count the amount of silver, come find me."
"Yes." The shopkeeper replied and went out immediately.
Li Luo was a little excited, but he also knew that there was a lot of rice outside. I was afraid that I would have to wait a while, but fortunately I sat at the table and poured tea.
After waiting for more than an hour, the shopkeeper finally ran over again: "A total of 416,500 stones, a total of 711,533, and 232 are needed. The little one just let him wipe out the odds, son Just give an integer."
Li Luo nodded, almost as expected in his heart, and readily counted seventy-one thousand five hundred taels of silver notes to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the banknote and went out, and after a while he came in again: "My son is done, the man has already left with the banknote, the food..."
The shopkeeper was a little worried. Although they were a rice shop, there was too much food, and there was really no place to pile it up.
Li Luo frowned and thought for a while and said: "First put it in the back, try to put it in the house, if you can't put it down, put it behind the other shops, put it like this first, it should be two days before someone will come to transport the food. ."
Fortunately, they bought four shops before. There are backyards and warehouses behind the shops, but they can put some. Lixing should be coming soon. When the Lixing arrives, let him distribute the food to the shops in various cities.
The shopkeeper immediately nodded understandingly: "Little one understands."
"Okay, you can find someone to move, I'll go back first." Li Luo confessed some details and returned to the station.
When he went back, he happened to see Zhao Xi in Jun Moran's yard, and he secretly hid in the dark.
"The prince and princess, Master Zhao, please see me." Li Qing bowed outside the door to report.
"Let him in." It was Hua Laoyue's voice.
Li Qing turned to Zhao Xi without speaking, but the meaning was obvious, just to let him in by himself.
Zhao Xi pushed the door and entered the room, where Hua Laoyue and Jun Moran were having dinner.
Jun Moran glanced at Zhao Xi, then bowed his head to eat again. Lao'er made rice and stir-fry tonight, all he likes to eat.
"Is Master Zhao available?" Hua Laoyue smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Zhao Xi didn't have the heart to deal with Hua Laoyue, but looked at Jun Moran with a calm face: "The official is here to find the prince to leave."
Hearing the words "Farewell", Jun Moran finally raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Master Zhao is going back to Kyoto?"
"Yes." Zhao Xi replied with her eyes down. "Something happened in Kyoto, so the officials must go back in advance."
The corner of Jun Moran's lips raised a sneer: "I thought Master Zhao had followed the emperor's will to enter Kyoto, but didn't he?"
